8/10 Very Good! (22 reviews)

The overall stay was fine and staff were friendly, but our cabin’s floor was clearly not swept and pretty dirty. Luckily they provided a broom for us to clean it ourselves. They advertised WiFi, but the WiFi only worked at our cabin about half our five day stay. Other than that, the bed was good, shower was nice, and provided amenities were all good.

8.6/10 Excellent! (857 reviews)

The location was great . The bed was the worst bed I have ever slept on avoid level 2 room 8 . It was as hard as a rock , perhaps reception could have mattress toppers on hand should you need it which would have made all the difference from a good stay to a great stay .
